§ Mr. Frank FieldTo ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions which report by the Benefit Fraud Inspectorate was(a) most satisfactory and (b) least satisfactory with respect to the Government's housing benefit policies. [11818]
§ Malcolm WicksIt is not possible to identify individual local authorities in this way. Inspections have revealed that each authority has a mixture of strengths and weaknesses across a wide range of different administrative and counter-fraud activities. Inspections can vary in approach according to the circumstances of each local authority. The information available in the reports does not, therefore, enable such comparisons to be made.
